Agricultural Considerations
Farmers in Norway have historically had mixed feelings about DST. While the original justification for DST included giving farmers more daylight hours, modern farming practices rely heavily on the sun's position rather than clock time. Dairy farmers particularly note that cows don't adjust their biological clocks, creating temporary disruptions in milking schedules.

Germany and Austria-Hungary were the first countries to use DST in 1916 during World War I.
DST was extended in the US in 2007, adding 4 weeks to the DST period.
Arizona and Hawaii are the only US states that don't observe DST statewide.
